It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
@HodlFlorida Saw a food truck where the item for sale was $32 but if you wanted a different meat it was a $1 extra charge. Like what the heck are we doing here, just eat the difference or charge $33. Just makes you look stupid as a business
1994: Change brake pads on your truck in the driveway for $30.
2026: Electronic parking brake says 'DIYers not permitted.' Needs $6k dealer tool + subscription.
They call it 'security.' We call it a software lock scam to kill DIY and force you back to the dealer.

Woman who lives only 1.6 miles from the META Data Center in Wisconsin speaks out
She says their water system has been completely destroyed
She says there is discharge that turns the entire river white like milk. She paid for testing and found extremely high heavy metal levels
“I live on a horse farm and I am an educator. I, for almost four 50 years, a natural creek has flowed through my property. It's 20 feet wide, up to four feet deep. It has persisted through drought, flood, seasonal change. It's part of a connected system. Groundwater, tributaries, watersheds, aquifers ultimately flowing into Beaver Dam Lake. Until construction began upstream on the data center, its behavior was stable and predictable
After construction started, all of that changed. Here in Beaver Dam, the creek began to stop flowing entirely without rainfall. It would abruptly return off in cloudy and opaque like milk, with enough force to cause drastic erosion and damage — Water testing on my property shows elevated strontium, a very dangerous metal, and other indicators consistent with deep groundwater influence”
@TheMovieMermaid Florence Welch said it best:
falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace
It's only when I hit the ground it 'causes all the grief

He wrote in his journal: “I am a credible threat because of New York Times.”
One month after the interview he was found dead in his San Francisco apartment.
The official ruling: suicide.

His pen drive was missing. His computer was left open. CCTV footage for only 2 of 7 days was provided. GHB was found in his system. His cheekbone was broken. A second bullet was allegedly found lodged in his skull by independent radiologists.
Elon Musk replied to his mother’s post: “This doesn’t seem like a suicide.”
Tucker Carlson said in a September 2025 interview with Sam Altman: “He was definitely murdered.”
The SF police closed the case.

@studiosellsword If gay doesn’t signal sex then are you saying homosexual women are juicing to achieve hyper masculinity? No.
Why single out “gays” when this clearly applies to all men. The story/video doesn’t even mention sexuality; the nuance is in how young they are.
Everybody religious when they’re gays are being celebrated or accepted. But when it’s fucking outside of marriage, attending baby showers for unmarried folks, or beating up women everybody mute with not a scripture in sight. Sick of you niggas
